Two red spots on penis - no itching/burning/blistering
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hey folks,
So I'm a big 'ol genius. I had unprotected sex with two women about 3 days apart. I went in and got diagnosed with jock itch around the same time. Then this past Thursday I noticed two red marks on the head of my penis, coming down around the crest a little as well. Jock itch typically does not both the penis.
I have no discharge, have no itching, no blistering, no nothin' but marks. I was referred to a dermatologist and also had full panel STD tests done the day I noticed (Thursday the 19th) it but haven't gotten results back yet.
I was told by the doctor who referred me to the dermatologist that while it didn't look herpedic, it was concerning. He prescribed me hydrocorisone 1% just in case it was dermatitis. As you can see in the photos it's not THAT noticeable at the current time.
I do find that I have a bit of a headache..but I don't know if this is due to me stressing out over this, focusing on whether or not I have a headache, or a symptom of some kind
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

In the photos it has a bit of a dry skin look (it does in real life too)

It doesn't look too concerning unless it gets worse. It may just clear up in a few days, especially with a steroid cream.
It doesn't look like regular balanitis, but the information I normally cut and paste for that probably wouldn't hurt:
Washing (with water, no soap) daily, and taking a leak and washing after masturbation or sex will probably help, and you could also try Canesten cream or Daktarin cream. Loose fitting cotton underwear may help, and some sites recommend washing underwear with non-biological washing powder or liquid.
If you could keep us updated with how it goes, and if the doctors reach a diagnosis, it would be appreciated.
An anterior tilted cervix/uterus seems to be very common btw (20-30% of women), but maybe it was very pronounced for the second woman to mention it (or even to know about it) and for you to feel it. Those marks you have don't really look like friction damage though.

Thank you!
I've been keeping an eye on it pretty hardcore..like getting up at work 3-4 times during the day just to go look at it in the bathroom. Do my best not to touch it, as to not irritate it. I should get my STD results back tomorrow (hopefully). My only concern is the mild headaches accompanying it..but again..stress.
I do think the cream is working but can't be for sure quite yet.
Yes, the anteriorly tilted cervix I believe it was. She definitely knew about it, talked about it before and after and I've never needed to 'release' that early with a woman before in my life.
Yeah, I didn't think so..which is why I just don't know what it is. She actually used warm water on a cloth and wiped me down after so maybe it was the fabric irritating me.
The issue with that is it was almost a full week before I saw the marks...can an irritation flare up a week after the irritant?

If you didn't notice anything till almost a week after, then it may be unrelated to the sex. It certainly seems unusual for it to take that long to show up. I suspect that the doctors will have a difficult time diagnosing this, and if it just goes away, you may never know what it was.
Good luck with the STI results - you'd have to be unlucky to have picked anything up, but those pics don't look like evidence of an STI anyway.

I’m negative for gonnorhea, chlamydia, syphillis, and HIV.
It seems to have faded even more now.

Those spots just don't look like any STI, but it wouldn't hurt to get tested again in a few weeks. If they're fading, then they might be gone by then.
Oh, and don't forget that condoms are your friend. If you think that worrying about STIs is stressful, worrying about possible unwanted pregnancies is much worse.

Thanks for the updates. Shame she couldn't identify it, but it's good to know it's nothing to worry about. The STI testing place should have told you about how long you need to wait for tests to be conclusive, but they exaggerate the time you need to wait to be on the safe side, so you'll probably be fine. In your position, I wouldn't bother getting tested again.
Get some condoms though. One of those things it's better to have and not need, than need and not have. I used to think it would look presumptuous or arrogant to have condoms just in case, but if things went well enough to need them, the girls were always quite pleased or relieved, and most of the time they had their own.

Thanks for the update. You should be able to post pics on a reply, and this should help you add images:

You'll probably need to use a PC or laptop rather than a phone or tablet.
